Agenda Item Text:
Approve the new Detention Per Diem Rate of $318.06 for the first day and $61.91 for each additional day per the recommendation of MGT of America, Inc. (MGT).
Background:
The FY 2014 Adult Detention Per Diem Rate Study for Cochise County, Arizona, identifies the cost of staff, facilities and services required to maintain an adult prisoner in the county detention facilities for the year ending June 30, 2014. MGT of America, Inc. (MGT) has prepared the study at the request of the county. The study was prepared in accordance with the policies and procedures contained in the federal 2 CFR 225, formerly know as the US Office of Management & Budget Circular A-87 "Cost Principals for State, Local & Indian Tribal Governments". County personnel provided the expenditure and allocation data to MGT consultants. To calculate the cost of services, MGT consultants then prepared a Departmental Cost Allocation Plan utilizing a double step-down methodology. The proposed Detention Per Diem Rate is $318.06 for the first day and $61.91 for each additional day.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Upon approval from the Board the Sheriff's Office will notify all local, state and federal agencies that utilize the Cochise County Jail of the new per diem rate and begin billing those effected at the new rate.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If the proposed rate is not approved, the Sheriff's Office will continue to charge the old per diem rate which according to the study will not cover the current cost of incarceration thus costing the county the difference.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
No documents require signature. The Sheriff's Office will act upon the approval of the Board.
